    Funny enough, I agree with the final piece of advice not explicitly listed: get involved! This was huge for me, but only after getting into graduate school. There are so many connections I've made that I wish I made sooner. Not only are you helping those in need, but you are putting yourself right in the middle of your intended field! Never underestimate the power of community involvement. You have the opportunity to find great connections that could potentially impact your schooling and even career. I have learned so much just from stepping out into the community for local walks and fundraising events. You also never know who is at these events! As important as grades are, community outreach is just as important to admission boards. By attending these events, it shows your eagerness to not only be involved in this field but also to be involved with the population you intend to treat. It is never too early (or too late!) to start making those connections. 

    All the best,
